So I dont know what it was, maybe a camera setting, but I am having no issues now. I changed the white balance to awb, maybe that was it.

I have never had a yellow cast when I developed and printed my own color film in college. I bought these lens myself....25 years ago.

I noticed the cast more in faces, and I think it is more orangy than yellow. I do lower the saturation when working in lightroom, but they are set at 0 when I import and then develop the images. But you may be right, it may be just me being used to cool look. I don't mind it anywhere else, it just seems odd in the face to have an orange tint. It kind of looks like everyone went crazy with the spray tan

Any suggestions on lens profile corrections? For camera calibration, I only have Adobe Standard as an option. For lens profile correction, there is nothing listed that is similar other than 'pentax standard prime"

Thanks for the article, it mentioned in another link about looking through the lens onto a white piece of paper, and I did and don't see any cast, so now I am pretty sure that it is not a lens issue.

Thanks, I switched to awb, so hopefully next time I shot it will look better. I am very surprised how hard it was to correct in lr. I figured it might be something simple in camera

Some images were shot inside, with natural light, the others were outside in daylight, no mixed light sources. My white balance was set to Multi Auto White Balance, not AWB. Would that make a difference? I thought thought it was AWB, but I most have changed it at some point.

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but I have only been using the pentax dslrs for less than a year now. I have 2 old lenses from my K1000 that I am starting to use on my K-3. I like the look of the images they take, but they seem to have a yellow cast when I bring them into lightroom. Is that from the lens or something the K-3 is doing because they are manual lens? I can fix them in lightroom but is very hard, especially with faces, it's like it is only in the shadows. I can't say for sure because I just started using them about a week ago, but people look jaundiced.

I am using the Ozunon 35-75mm F3.5-4.8 MC Auto Zoom, and the SMC Pentax-M 50mm F2, and both of them give the yellow cast, so I found it weird it would be the lenses. Any help would be great!
